Where in Texas should Magpul relocate?

[jmra]

North Ellis County, for obvious reasons.

I could live with that. They could build right next to SWFA's new location.

Cut and Shoot, Texas. (just north of Houston).

Why? It's got the ready made "cool beans" factor. How awesome would it be to have their magazines etched
with "Cut and Shoot, Texas, USA". Can I get a woop-woop!!

It's close to Houston so any and all business needs could be met.

Magpul could then put some frosting on the cake by diversifying into blades. :-)

depending on how much land they need, I could set them up with one of my clients (an Economic Development Corp) for a pretty sweet deal, and they could have a railroad siding and be within 3 miles of Interstate 20. The RR connection would be a 2 year project, but the interstate is there as well as our county airport another 6-8 miles down the same highway as the development project.

As far as I'm concerned, the offer is open to Kimber, Kahr, S&W, Remington, Winchester..........

Why would a company like those even want to relocate to a big city environment with all the high taxes and regulations?

While all of the options are good ones, I think the shipping availability of DFW is probably best. They'd have access to numerous rail yards, dozens of trucking companies, etc. They might even be able to save some $$ on their shipping.

Also huge FedEx facility at Alliance.

Gun Barrel City.

Allen, admittedly the edge of the metroplex above, but still only the edge (for the moment) and we have some facilities just begging for the occupancy, not to mention the jobs.

Where are they located now? The website still gives the old address.

Rumors are that they're looking at the Allliance/Westport Parkway area - gotta be true - I heard it in the Wendy's there, yesterday!

They are currently located in Red Oak on Century St. but they are building a very nice facility on 287 just across the the highway from Midway Airport.
All the dirt work is done and I assume they will start pouring the foundation soon.

Thanks, I'll have to check out the new place after they move.

"UEB Builders is proud to announce that we will be breaking ground late 2012 on a 32,000 square foot retail and distribution center for SWFA Outdoors in Midlothian, TX. The two story building, designed by GSO Architects will consist of a tilt wall system with an integrally cast thin brick and stone façade. A portion of the building will be dedicated to SWFA’s retail sales and internet call center, while the remainder of the building will be home to a multi-story modular warehousing system and shipping center."

I'd like to see them on the outskirts of Houston. Katy area-ish

That's exactly what I was thinking. Kind of a central hub, products can go anywhere in the USA very easily.

(Other) Wood County, Texas...

Thats where they bottle Osarka Water, and where I plan to retire some day soon...

I need a hobby (second career) to keep me busy, and from drinking too much!!!

But...

If they don't move to Texas...I will be glad to see them move somewhere other than Colorado...

Just remember, the governor of Colorado and his useful idiots, apparently believe losing 600 votes is an acceptable loss, thinking no one else in Colorado would have a problem with them pulling the rug out from underneath such an evil company...
